“Someone has to fix the problems.”
In Nicolas Winding Refn's sleek and coldly efficient thriller, Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) is an assassin who adheres to a strict professional code, demanding both perfection and emotional detachment. When his friend and mentor, Harry McKenna, is murdered, Bishop reluctantly takes on Harry's vengeful son, JASON (Ben Foster), as an apprentice, setting the stage for a deadly and morally ambiguous partnership. The film's clinical precision and icy atmosphere underscore the lethal world where Bishop operates with ruthless efficiency.
